Be it known that We, -ADOLPH @rr and @SCAR Bison, citizens ofthe United States, residing atI Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jers'ey,liave invented certain new and useful improvements in Globes for Lamps or Lanterns; and We' do hereby erenee Toeing -li'adto the 'accompanying drawings,v and -to characters el, referefiice'inarked thereoi'i, which forni a part of this spefciica? tion. i'

rl`he present invention has reference gen` erally, to improvements in chimneys orglohes for portable lamps or lanterns and the invention refers `more especially' to a novel construction of chimney 1 or globe adapted toI be used more particularly 'with thefclass 'of 4lamps or lanterns used as sig nal lanterns. loyv railroad nien; as Wagon' lights signal lights; lights-for marking olostructions; lloarn-lanterns, and all lanterns'- `or lamps provided with means'tor retaining the chimneyor gloloe at both its top and loot 'toni-ends( v This invention has for its primary objectto provide a chimney or globe, for lamps or lanterns of the character valcove described,

which is so 'constructed asvto provide two sections .separable onevfroin the other, 'out so arranged as to be capable of being placed together to torni a perfect W1nol-proof chifm hey orglohe. The advantages of suclr'a con-V structionarethat each section being complete in itscli2 is adapted'to loe sliolaloly litted to any other section oi a siinilarshape and size, so that in case one becomes 'broken instead ot the necessity ofreplacing the ent-ire chimney orglobe, av single new sec'- tion may hefarranged with the remaining or unbroken section, thus saving expense in` replacing'broken chimneys or globes; ane' other advantage resides'in the tact'that' it is possible to arrange together two sections of dissimilar colors of glass,such for eX-f ample as red and White; green and White, red and green or any other; desired coinhination of colors whereby the lamp or lantern may he caused to coinhinein itself an illuminating function and a signalr function, or improve 'and increase its character as .a purely signaling lamp or lantern. By this `selves to the'user,v

' means the lamp or. lantern-is improved and its uses increased fon railway nien, for Wagon use and mark-ing dangerous obstructions and the like, as Welll as orjrnanyother purposes which Will `ioeaclily'commend'.them- A 'stilll further.. ohjectgoit. 'the' present in' vention ,is fto provide.. a chimney or. globe' of the character above fdeserihed which can he more easilyfandlecon'einically packed andhandled in both f and ,storing vthe saine, since 'the sections, otwlnch said novel chimney or. globe vis composed, `may be readily placedl one' `w'intliinf. .the other so. as to occupy very 'much less 'spacey than the old style chimneys or globes, and ,furthermore l thesaine n'iay 'hepaked 4and 'shipped with less-liability 'to lorealiafgef4 i l." v ther ohjectsof.tliepre'sent intention lnot at this ltime more 'particularly enumerated will' he clearly iinderstood freni the, 'following detailed description ot oui pre sent.in
